In connection with the previous post, here is a portion of what Tim himself wrote about the new talking beasts being instructed by their Creator:
The herbivores were told that they needed to be wary. “You will have a three-day reprieve from being hunted by wild carnivores,” explained Aslan, “I will feed them through My own providence. But after those three days, you will be just as fair game to them as are the dumb herbivores. The talking carnivores will not hunt you, and indeed may actually protect you. But, always be on guard. Your superior intelligence and your ability to learn will help protect you, but it is by no means an absolute safeguard. Now, I will dismiss you to go find homes for yourselves in My fair land of Narnia”.
Aslan then sent the herbivores away in groups. These groups were made up of similar species, or else species that shared a similar type of foraging ground.
The last remaining group of animals was the carnivores, scavengers and aggressive omnivores of various sorts-- dogs, wolves, cats big and little, bears, hyenas, eagles, apes, etc. As Aslan would talk to each group by species or genus, they would happily run off into a nearby woods, not to be seen again for the rest of that day.
Aslan was addressing each group with words to this effect (In this instance, He was addressing the bears): “Now listen, talking bears. Although you can eat just about any food I have provided in this world, I have given you a craving for meat. It is not yet time for you to be hunters, but it is time for you to eat meat. Go yonder into that thicket to My left, and in there you will find meat especially for you. You will eat of this meat (for I will provide as much of it as you care for) until My new King and Queen have laid down the rules for hunting in this world. Heed what they will have to say as they are here for your good and prosperity.” Aslan went on to give them a special blessing, and then He sent them on their way.
At last, Aslan had sent away all of the carnivores, scavengers and omnivores to their special feast, except for the great cats-- the animals the most like Himself. He then addressed them as a group, using words similar to what He had told the others. But He added, “For you, the greatest predators in My land of Narnia, there is a special responsibility. By your hunting skill, your great adaptability, and your big appetites, you more than anyone else among the animals of Narnia will work to keep the dumb animals in proper balance so they will not overrun the land. You will also help keep My talking animals in balance in a much different way, one that will become apparent with time.
"This is both a great burden and a great blessing. Additionally, each of you has a special place and mission in my world, which will be revealed to you in due time. Bear it well, O great cats of Narnia!” With this, Aslan began to send away the cats by pairs into the thicket. As each pair went, out, Aslan gave them special instructions.
